A Strong Economy

United Future Will:

Support free trade and embrace free trade agreements and pacts where there is a reasonable opportunity for New Zealand to benefit.

Ensure foreign investment is an absolute priority. Create a long term, targeted vision for foreign investment.

Research the benefits of a common currency with Australia and/or USA.

Encourage more New Zealanders to become entrepreneurs by promoting positive attitudes towards wealth creation and business success.

Work with local government to develop regional businesses. This includes providing a stable and transparent environmental policy, which encourages long term business planning; devising regulatory interventions which do not distort resource allocations; and minimising compliance costs.

Improve transport infrastructure, especially where road constraints are holding back economic growth and development.

Continue government support for low inflation and debt reduction as embodied by the Reserve Bank Act, the Fiscal Responsibility Act, the Public Finance Act, and the Employment Relations Act.
